@singingwolfboy I am future-proofing these tests for the scenario when they will be run in IE. since in IE `window.console` is `undefined`, we have to create it. If try to use the `spyOn` method on an `undefined` method, then the test will fail. Please [see implementation](https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/blob/eebba2ecca0713883f98eb1f3ed9c42843b598f6/src/core/Env.js#L182) of `spyOn` method.
